- The result of the discussion was: delete. There is a list in the page insult comedy. – Fayenatic London 11:22, 29 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]
- Nominator's rationale: Vague and unspecified category, only entry currently is the video game review series Zero Punctuation, which uses the form on insult comedy, but isn't solely devoted to the form. Also WP:OVERCAT. soetermans. ↑↑↓↓←→←→ B A TALK 11:09, 9 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete: as per @Soetermans -- a way too overly broad and subjective category, which can include a great many other comedians who use/have used/used insults in their routines but would not define themselves as "insult comedians", per se. Quis separabit? 00:31, 13 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment, since the nomination the creator of the category User:Omanyd has added multiple other articles to the category. It might be useful if they would directly comment here on the delete nomination. Marcocapelle (talk) 19:14, 16 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

- Nominator's rationale: Unnecessary and very vague category: video games about military personnel? The subcategory is category: Sniper video games, but they feature the role or function of a sniper in a video game, they're not necesarilly about the sniper. soetermans. ↑↑↓↓←→←→ B A TALK 11:02, 9 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]
- delete typical of the "about" categories: how much about military personnel must the video game be for inclusion? how is that objectively defined? and what reliable sources tell us its at least that much about the defining topic into which it is being categorized?

- Propose delete Category:11th century BC in law
- Propose delete Category:10th century BC in law
- Propose delete Category:9th century BC in law
- Propose delete Category:8th century BC in law
- Propose delete Category:11th-century BC crimes
- Propose delete Category:10th-century BC crimes
- Propose delete Category:9th-century BC crimes
- Propose delete Category:8th-century BC crimes
- Nominator's rationale: delete, this is too ancient history to populate with articles about law and crimes. These categories merely contain (subcats with) biographies of people, who are in the people by century category tree already. Marcocapelle (talk) 05:08, 9 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment: The rationale would also apply to the sub-categories, namely 11th, 10th, 9th and Category:8th-century BC murder victims. If you are not nominating those, why take out their parent categories for "crimes"? I agree that the "law" categories add little in terms of navigation, but the 9th-century crimes category also contains the murderers Jehu and Zimri (king), and I wouldn't be surprised if there was scope to add more e.g. from Egyptian, Persian and Chinese history. – Fayenatic London 20:19, 9 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]
- The murder victims categories are less of a problem because they are supposed to contain biographies (they could be upmerged as too small, at most). The 11th-8th century law categories don't contain any topic articles about law and the corresponding crimes categories don't contain any articles about crimes. The 'oldest' crimes article in WP probably is Assassination of Julius Caesar, an event that dates 1st century BC. Marcocapelle (talk) 20:20, 10 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]
- I was planning that initially indeed, but then found the amount of ancient murderers was too little for now. But of course no objection against creating them if there are much more ancient murderers that weren't in these crimes by century tree yet. Marcocapelle (talk) 22:17, 29 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]
